Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Notices of Motions General Business Notices of Motions (General Notices) given. ROAD TRANSPORT AMENDMENT (ELECTRONIC TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT NOTICES TRIAL) BILL 2013 Bill introduced on motion by Mr Stuart Ayres, on behalf of Mr Greg Smith, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Mr STUART AYRES (Penrith—Parliamentary Secretary) [10.08 a.m.], on behalf of Mr Greg Smith: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The Road Transport Amendment (Electronic Traffic Infringement Notices Trial) Bill 2013 amends the Road Transport Act 2013 to provide for a proof-of-concept trial by the NSW Police Force for the service of electronic traffic infringement notices—or TINs, as they are more commonly known in the field. The project will occur in five local area commands for four weeks to allow a systems-testing and data-matching process to occur. The project findings will be used by the NSW Police Force to determine whether a larger production trial followed by an independent evaluation should occur. To undertake this four-week project certain legislative amendments are required to enable a traffic infringement notice to be issued in this manner if agreed to by the offender. The bill, therefore, inserts a new section 196A after section 196 of the Road Transport Act 2013 to provide that a traffic infringement notice may be sent via electronic transmission by the NSW Police Force upon the consent of the person concerned. The new section clarifies when the infringement notice will be deemed to have been served, provides for the voluntary provision of email addresses and mobile phone numbers, includes a sunset clause, and provides that children under the age of 16 will not be issued infringement notices electronically. The legislative amendments required for the project have been the subject of consultation with the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing; Roads and Maritime Services; Transport for NSW; the Department of Attorney General and Justice; and the Department of Finance and Services. Agreement has been reached to limit the amendments to the statutory provisions necessary for the proof-of-concept trial to be conducted. The NSW Police Force consulted agencies including the State Debt Recovery Office, the Police Association of NSW and other Australian law enforcement jurisdictions. Without the legislative amendments, police will be unable to issue electronic traffic infringement notices in the field. In the five local area commands involved in the project, police will issue electronic notices only with the consent of the individual concerned. Should the person refuse, infringement notices will be issued manually by police and sent by post, in line with current practice. For the duration of the project, 20 tablets have been supplied to police and will be returned to the manufacturer
